Apple, as a laptop manufacturer, is done. The company is continuing to regress, having lost its edge (SJ). They're completely on the process bandwagon of requiring more accessories, having lost the beauty and functionality of clever, p

Yup, it's business suicide. Probably people too inexperienced to handle success or have a clue where to go from where they're at. So they throw up their hands, shutdown servers, let people down and miss their shot. It's sad,

"Self-esteem" is a nice way of saying American children are becoming more arrogant with fewer skill, lower performance and less experience than ever. Adults, teachers and mentors need to do more to put them in their place, for the

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) + (2) 1 GB SSDs + 16 GiB RAM + Banksy decal Nupe. When they stop selling an upgradable MBP, they've lost me entirely. (Which is now.)

I hate to sound mean, but Opera feels somewhere between the Moller Skycar and a Dyson Hairdryer. To be fair: Chrome is fast and adopts tech fairly quickly but kills your battery and your privacy. Firefox is private and supports new things,

If there's no hackable non-Retina-like model with user-upgradable to 16 GiB of memory and dual SSDs, the MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) MD101LL/A will be the last MBP I buy. Overpriced, soldered-on memory is BS.
